This site was established by Wal Pilz (1927-2016) to share historical information depicted in photos and images of old scenes of the Rylstone District. Wal's belief was that sharing history was the best way to create a living history for Rylstone and the surrounding district. In Wal's memory, the site will continue to operate as an online database and you are invited to contribute images and information. Please comment or email Dan Hatton at oldimagesrylstonedistrict@gmail.com.
Rebecca Webdy (née Slapp) (1854-1935)
At St James' Rylstone, on 4 June 1873, she married Charles Thomas MASON (1859-1879)
Charles and Rebecca made their home at Ti Tree Flat. Sadly, Charles died on 24 July 1879, one month before he turned 28, leaving his wife Rebecca and their two young daughters.
Two years later, on 1 March 1881, the widowed Rebecca married her cousin George WEBDY (1858-1929)
